While we are in rural Iowa, famous for corn fields, all you will see from our house are the valleys and vistas of the unique Loess Hills. We are five minutes from Sidney Iowa and 15 minutes from Nebraska City, NE where you will find shopping, restaurants, antiques and attractions.

Lona was great at giving me directions to her home. Even though I showed up a little late and my dogs were super high strung from traveling already for a couple days, she was very understanding and friendly. The bed was very comfortable and I loved how quiet it was. My two dogs and I got a great night sleep. The scenery was beautiful and I would love to go back when I have more time to explore.

Such a great place to stay. The pictures don't do the house and property justice. It was so clean, tidy, homey, and beautifully crafted and decorated. Lona was the definition of hospitable and was easy and pleasant to talk to. She was very kind and thoughtful. I would recommend staying here for anyone, whether stopping by in passing or staying around for a while.

If you are looking for wonderful accommodations, beautiful scenery, a quiet secluded home and a gracious hostess, this is it. I stayed with Lona Lewis for 3 nights in April while visiting family in Iowa. My room was cozy, the bed was comfortable and I had a beautiful view. There were several common areas where one could read, watch t.v., or just relax. The town of Sidney is a bit of a drive, however, that made it even more appealing to me. There are many places to walk, or run. It was a perfect "mini vacation" for me.

Absolutely perfect host.

Lona's wonderful home is great for any traveler who wants a more peaceful night. Mere minutes from major roads, her home is a sanctuary for rest.

Bill2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

Lona has a beautiful home. I loved the old house atmosphere with the modern conveniences. The bed was one of the best I've ever slept on. If I work in Nebraska City again I hope to stay at her house. Fantastic experience

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

SUNIL2017-03-15T00:00:00Z

A beautiful house and location. The great hospitality makes you feel like you are staying with family or an old friend. I will gladly stay again if I am in the area. Thank you Lona for being such a great host!

My place is close to the historic Promenade and 2 blocks from our beautiful downtown and restaurants. Clarinda has 3 fine museums- Nodaway Historic Museum, Glenn Miller Birthplace Mueum, and The Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum. You’ll love my place because it is a beautiful historic house filled with period antiques. Enjoy our home while you are away from yours!. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Beautiful home. Great room upstairs with a close bathroom. Breakfast was delicious. Hosts friendly and warm. A treasure in Clarinda for sure.

Project Art Church is a re-purposed 140 year old Presbyterian Church and now artist studio/loft. It was last used as a church in 1969. The historical society owned it until 2012 when sold to the current artist/owner. The downstairs apartment is a functioning artist studio. It's a popular space for creative minds and art admirers.

The studio apartment is in the downstairs portion of the church. The kitchen is remodeled with concrete counter tops, kitchen island and has a industrial stove top. You will be surrounded by original oil paintings and eclectic art. There are 2 queen size beds in the bedroom and a full size futon in the studio living room. It's a full kitchen minus a dishwasher. :( .. .

Project Art Church is located in a small rural community of 1200 people and only 1 block from main street. It is close proximity to the Wabash Nature Trail which is 63 miles of groomed path for biking and hiking. The Art Church is walking distance to a bakery, 2 cafes, bar, grocery store, library, pharmacy, gift shop, and art gallery(Fine Arts on 5th. Open Thur-Sat). Classic Cafe is a popular eatery with specialty coffee for addicts like myself(closed on Monday except for coffee until 10a). Currently we have a miniature train store opening. Who'd of thought...1/26/2017 Malvern is a quiet town with conveniences. Sunday afternoon and Mondays are quiet with weekend store closures. Friday and Saturdays are the most active. There is Live Music downtown 7-10p in the summer months. Check out the MalvernMarket on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) for details. Malvernia is the town website.

Great space, great host, great experience! Zack was very flexible when my time of arrival kept changing. The apt. was private, clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated. Just a block from the quaint downtown area of Malvern. Restaurants are good! I enjoyed my stay, but wished I could've stayed at least one more night. I highly recommend the Project Art Church.

The Church is a wonderful experience. Much more than a typical place to spend the night. Everything about this place is artistically creative, to include Zack himself. Well done! May I be so lucky as to have another opportunity to stay here and visit with Zack.

Linens and towels provided. One bedroom features a queen bed, the other twin bunk beds. Futon in the living area folds down. Conveniently located on the Wabash Trace Nature Trail at the Malvern Trailhead, just 2 blocks from downtown.

The Malvern Depot sits midway on the 63 mile Wabash Trace Nature Trail. The cozy cabin feel is newly renovated, decorated, and sits directly on the trail. This is a great over night stay for bike enthusiasts or visitors passing through Malvern Iowa. The Depot includes a new walk in shower with acid washed floor, new beds, and area kitchenette that includes microwave, toaster, and dorm style refrigerator. No stove

The Wabash Trace Nature Trail is a hidden secret with long stretches of shaded canopy. Trail users will especially like the Malvern Depot as it sits directly on the trail. The Depot is part of a revitalization effort and will continue to evolve over time.
